Note: You are welcome to attend a playgroup before deciding to become a member. Once you attend a playgroup and submit the necessary paperwork and dues to a member of the board, you are welcome to attend all club activities. Each month our chapter publishes a calendar (for members only) that includes specific times and locations.
MOMS Activity Groups
Each month we publish a calendar of monthly activities for MOMS Club® of Biloxi members. All of our activities fit into one of three categories: Mom-Focused, Kid-Focused, or Service. All of our members are welcome to attend any activity. Here are some ideas of activities to host. Have a great idea for an activity or would you like to host? Send an e-mail to [email protected]. Remember you do not have to host at your home. You can simply plan a meet up at a park. Your children are ALWAYS welcome at all of our events with the sole exception of Mom's Night Out where we enjoy some kid free time! Are you a nursing mom? Don't worry, we make an exception for nursing moms and their little one.
MOM-FOCUSED
Monthly Member Meeting- Each month, we have a meeting opened to all members, where we cover any chapter business. We will alternate group discussions and speakers that discuss topics that pertains to mothers. Have a great idea for speaker? Let us know! We want to hear it!
Moms Night Out- As moms, sometimes we need a little break free of distractions to get to know one another and have adult conversations. Moms Night Outs are designed just for us. This is the only activity where our children do not attend. Don't worry if you are a nursing Mama! We make an exception for you and your little one. We do something fun on a weeknight.
Recipe Club- Do you like to cook? Host a Recipe Club. Come up with a theme to announce in advance. (Salads, After School Snacks, Holiday food, etc.) We will all bring copies of our recipe, so everyone goes home with another recipe to add to their collection. Food, chatting, kids playing....Yes, please!!!!
Mommy Made It- Are you a crafty Mama? Do you love doing Pinterest projects? Host a Mommy Made It event! Let's get together and show our crafty (or un-crafty) side, bring home a project, and socialize with Mommies while our kiddos play together.
Empty Nesters- Are all of your children school-aged? One of the benefits of MOMS Club is it is designed to support MOMS in ALL stages of life. Host a play date for other “empty nesters” in the group. Get together for coffee or anything you choose while your children are in school. You are bound to have a good time and make new friends that are in the same walk of life.
Fit Mamas- Let's meet every week! Put on your walking shoes, set up the kids with snacks in the stroller, and get movin' & groovin'!
Kid-Focused
Together Time- Do you want to play with the whole group? This is a playgroup for all ages. Host a get together wherever you choose! (a park, museum, kid-friendly restaurant, bounce house, your home, etc) This playgroup is great for moms to connect with members outside of their age specific playgroup. Sometimes a mom who has been there and conquered that stage of life might be the best support!
Age Specific Playgroups- Do you want to host a smaller playgroup? Age Specific playgroups are a unique opportunity for moms to get similar aged children together to play. Discuss age specific issues, gain support and grow friendships, all while the children play. Siblings are always welcome and you are not limited to attending just one playgroup. Host one of the following Age Specific Playgroups...
Story Time- We all know how important it is for our children to read. Join us at a local story time! We put them on the calendar every month.
Special Tours - We organize tours of community businesses of interest for our members such as fire stations, police stations, post offices, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. If you have any ideas for a tour let the executive board know about your idea. We will do our best to get that specific tour on the calendar.
Holiday Parties -We are always looking for a reason to celebrate!!! These events provide a great opportunity for the whole club to come together and have fun! We will plan these as a group.
Service
MOMS Club isn't just about activities, but also about service. We do philanthropy projects as a group (kids, too!) to help moms and children in need, and we provide support to each other when opportunity calls. Service includes
Community Service- We focus on moms and children in need in our community. We need to do at least one major service project a year. Although, giving can be a little addicting. I hope we can do even more! Members decide what types of projects to do and who to support. This is a good way for us to represent the MOMS® Club to the community and benefit a good cause at the same time.
Helping Hands- This is a program to provide meals to members when they have a loss in their family, welcome a new baby, have surgery, or any emergency that calls for extra help. Once a need arises we will contact the group to organize volunteers to bring meals taking special care to ensure food allergies and preferences are followed. This is another fun and thoughtful way we show support for our friends in the chapter and this gesture is always well received.
Mother-to-Mother Fund- MOMS Club International organizes "The Mother-To‐Mother Fund" that local chapters and members support monetarily to help those MOMS Club members suffering from devastating personal emergencies or disasters. Our chapter supports this program through fund-raising during the year.
Have another idea? Whether it is a Mom-Focused Event, a Kid-Focused Event, or a Service Project please let us know. You are the reason MOMS Club was created! Let's keep our club active and be a great service to MOMS in our area. Volunteer to host and participate. You won't regret it!
